We may have our roots in the original wojak design, but all our components are new. I bear a clear resemblance to the original 2010 "feels guy," but we lack any actual parts in common. Are we a variation on the What do Are we wojaks? you mean? original wojak the same way as, say, the doomer, or are we our own thing entirely? I would argue that we are, yes. It's effectively a Ship of Theseus problem - if you change out all the parts to a ship, is it the same ship or a different one. I follow the same conclusion as John Locke- we are linked to our past selves through memory, not body, which is constantly changing. Our memory and mental lives our what make us what we are, and what we are is wojaks. Dalidy I disagree, in terms of the Ship of Theseus model. As parts are switched out, they lose their identity. The ship is defined by its physical connection to and contact with Theseus, and when you swap out parts it ceases to become Theseus's ship in the same way you wouldn't call a bed Theseus's bed simply because it was in his room, had he never slept in it. Wojaks are defined by their connection to the original feels guy, one that we lack any sign of. The doomer is just a wojak with a hat, for example- I'm not even based off the original design! While we have a sort of connection by proxy, we're too distinct from wojaks to be one of them.

The fact that even if you didn't have to label them as wojacks, to still think they are wojacks (and trust, there's so many new wojacks that even without labeling them this godforsaken website would recognize it instantly) is an indication that while they may not physically resemble them, they are in essence wojacks. Wojack has transcended any one specific interpretation, and instead focuses on a set of principles, but to define those principles would be a much more difficult discussion, a "what is a man" kind of question, and I don't want to get caught up saying it's a featherless biped
